DeAngelo's shot from the point was deflected home by Trocheck to open the scoring with 6:47 remaining in the first period. Trocheck's goal was his ninth of the season and second in his last three games.

Carolina doubled the advantage just over four minutes later after Rangers defenseman Adam Fox was unable to control a loose puck in the neutral zone.

DeAngelo set up a one-timer by Fast, who wired a shot from the point past a screened Alexandar Georgiev (29 saves) to give the Hurricanes a 3-0 lead at 3:33 of the second period.

Zibanejad's one-timer from inside the left circle put New York on the scoreboard just over three minutes later, before Carolina countered with a quick flourish.

Aho's determined effort from in close at 14:46 of the second period resulted in his team-leading 17th goal of the season and second in his last three games. Niederreiter's easy tap-in just under five minutes later extended the Hurricanes' advantage to 5-1.

Kreider scored his team-leading 26th goal and McKegg added his first of the season 74 seconds later early in the third period to halve the deficit.

However, DeAngelo sealed the win by scoring a power-play goal with 2:33 remaining.
